The new centre is supported by founding donor XTX Markets, and welcomes approaches from other companies, research centres, institutes, funding agencies and foundations who may wish to become partners.

The coordination committee comprises a number of eminent mathematicians of Ukrainian origin including 2022 Fields medallist Maryna Viazovska, while the centre's International Advisory Board includes the former EMS Presidents Jean-Pierre Bourguignon and Pavel Exner. 

The first support meeting for the centre was [hosted at IHES in France (link)](https://www.ihes.fr/icmu-12janvier2023/) on 12 January, in the presence of Mykhailo Podolyak (Adviser to the Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine) and Claire Giry (Director General of Research and Innovation at the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research). Six Fields medallists were also present, representing the broad support of the mathematical community.

New Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine

I am excited and honored to take up the presidency of the EMS as we now enter 2023. Today, the EMS is a very active and professional organization that works to unite the mathematical community in greater Europe. I hope to be able to continue this important work for the benefit of European mathematics, and I hope to do so both within the community but also to reach a broader audience within society at large. I would like for EMS to be an instrument for increasing the visibility of mathematics in all its diversity. One particularly important aspect of the EMS is the publishing house EMS Press. It is a real pleasure to see how EMS Press has developed into a significant society publisher offering a viable alternative to the large commercial publishers.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the outgoing President Volker Mehrmann as well as the former vice president Betül Tanbay and the former treasurer Mats Gyllenberg. They, together with the rest of the Executive Committee, have guided the EMS through difficult times. I am thinking especially of the pandemic and the many international conflicts we are currently facing. They also worked very hard to increase the engagement of members in the work of the EMS. The EMS is both a society of societies and has individual members. I am really looking forward to continuing the efforts to engage both institutional, as well as individual members more in the work of the society to the benefit of the mathematical community in Europe. I hope you as members will join me in this effort and I wish you all a happy and, hopefully, less troubled new year.

**Edinburgh Mathematical Society**

The Edinburgh Mathematical Society is working with the Levelling up: STEM team from England to launch a Scottish widening participation programme aimed at underrepresented groups of school pupils in order to encourage them to attend University and to take STEM subjects. The programme, called "Reaching Higher: Maths" uses undergraduate tutors to provide a mix of mathematical and pastoral support for the school pupils. The pilot of the programme will be launched as part of Maths Week Scotland at the end of September and we anticipate starting the tutoring sessions in January 2023.

**European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology (ESMTB)**

ESMTB will resume, starting october 2022, its monthly online seminar on mathematical biology. As always, it will be held the last wednesday of the month 1 to 2pm. [More information here (link).](https://www.esmtb.org/ESMTB-online-colloquium)


**EMS COMMITTEES**

**EMS Education Committee**

The 1st Special Mathematical Summer School was organized by the Education Committee of the European Mathematical Society during 25-30 July 2022 in Agros, Cyprus. The school aimed at school students with high levels of mathematical ability and is hosted in Cyprus by the Cyprus Mathematical Society and the THALIS Foundation in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Cyprus and other organizations. Most importantly, the local hosts managed to find sponsors to cover all the accommodation and subsistence including local transport for the students, so participation for the selected students was free. Students had to cover only their travel costs to and from Cyprus. [More information here (link).](https://thalescyprus.com/?p=3512 )

 
**ERCOM**

IMBM (Istanbul Center for Mathematical Sciences) was accepted as an affiliate member of ERCOM, in response to a submitted application and a positive outcome of the vote of the ERCOM members.

**MISCELLANEA**

**Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF)**

This September 18–23, 200 selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science from all over the world are spending a week exchanging ideas and networking with the recipients of the disciplines’ most prestigious awards at the 9th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF). 

•	Integrated into the interdisciplinary and interactive program is the Hot Topic, which this year centres on Deep Learning, its foundations, applications and implications.

•	Central elements of the scientific program will be streamed live via [the HLF Website (link)](https://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/). Videos of all lectures and discussions will be published on [the HLF’s YouTube channel (link)](https://www.youtube.com/user/LaureateForum). 

•	You can get live updates of events at the HLF via the [Twitter account @HLForum (link)](https://twitter.com/hlforum?lang=en), and by following hashtag #HLF22.

•	Check out [the HLF Blog (link)](https://scilogs.spektrum.de/hlf/) for exciting articles in mathematics and computer science, as well as the HLFF Spotlight series, which highlights some of the brilliant minds attending this year’s HLF.

**News of the International Day of Mathematics**

The 2023 theme for the International Day of Mathematics (IDM 2023) is "Mathematics for Everyone". The theme was proposed by Marco Zarco Rotairo of the Trece Martires City National High School at Indang, Cavite, Philippines.  The same theme had also been proposed for IDM 2022 by the London Mathematical Society.  

It is still possible to relive some of the IDM 2022 highlights on [the IDM website (link)](https://www.idm314.org/index.html). There you can see the thousands of photos sent to the 2022 Mathematics Unites Photo Challenge, watch the short talks with guest mathematicians who joined us in the Global Celebration, with English, Arabic, French, Portuguese, and Spanish sessions. Discover photos and reports from IDM celebrations from all over the world in the live blog. Sign up to the IDM Newsletter on [the IDM website](https://www.idm314.org/index.html) to learn of all our announcements.
